This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

We enjoyed a great morning tea at Luv Coffee, Whangamata, and a bonus was being in town during Beach Hop. So many cool Classic cars! We really appreciated our liqueurs & beer, washed down with a tasty pizza at The Hot Water Brewing Company. This place always gives great service & puts you in a good mood! Love their sign "Don't worry, Be Hoppy!" A great presentation at Cathedral Cove Macadamias, as usual. Many took advantage of the opportunity to buy their excellent products, and yes, we indulged our addiction & bought Macadamia Brittle again! Our Antipasto platters & flight of wines were a treat for lunch at Mercury Bay Winery & we enjoyed the presenter talking about his own &.. Italian wines. Our night time meal was at the beautiful Lost Spring. The meal had a mixed reception from clients: the market fish was tuna, which was unexpected! Some clients enjoyed a swim before returning to our accomodation. All of our group found the musician & his harmonica jarring; this place warrants something far more classy for BACKGROUND music, perhaps a grand piano with a good pianist playing current tunes or a Buble-like crooner.
A great way to spend a Friday!
(By the way, we still have seats for our Christmas lunch at Princes Gate this Sunday)

Given Mike is disabled and I am semi-disabled and we have a very steep driveway, these bins would have been impossible for us. I received a communication this afternoon from the department in charge of rubbish collection who advise that there will be an assisted service form which will be available to fill in for those people like ourselves, to request this service. It means from my understanding the collectors will take your bins to the roadside, empty them and return them. I have asked Council to please post a message on Neighbourly when this form is available so everyone who is impacted can react.
